Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive guardian using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger on every swaying branch or passing fox, MotionX ignores 'noise' and focuses exclusively on important activity, such as a person approaching your property. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't watch; it intervenes with escalating responses to stop the intruder before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or Axis), our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it, upgrading 'dumb' cameras into an AI-powered security network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. By leveraging your existing cameras, you can gain world-class AI protection without the cost of a full hardware replacement, though we can also provide high-specification cameras if needed.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches your property. First, our 'Presence Simulation' makes your home appear occupied by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside, such as lights turning on and off in a realistic sequence. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is wearing a mask or hood—and tracks them across your property boundaries. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an active intervention: instant external illumination and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to convince any intruder that the home is occupied and they have been spotted.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, your video and data are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You retain total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that your home security should never come at the cost of your personal privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already rung it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that protects your entire perimeter. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your driveway, gardens, and side access points simultaneously. More importantly, scOS is designed to prevent crime rather than just record it. By using AI to detect threats at the boundary and deploying active deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation, we stop criminals before they ever get close enough to ring your doorbell.

Newstead is a close-knit community, but its location near major routes can make it a target for opportunistic property crime. While the local crime rate is lower than the national average, it's important not to be complacent. scOS acts as a digital neighbourhood watch for your specific property, identifying suspicious activity and deterring intruders before they can cause trouble. It’s about ensuring your home remains a safe haven in the heart of Nottinghamshire.

Yes. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition is a powerful tool for residents. If an unknown vehicle enters your driveway, scOS can automatically check its registration against the DVLA database. This helps you identify if a vehicle is local, a known visitor, or potentially suspicious (such as a car with cloned plates). It’s an extra layer of intelligence that helps you stay one step ahead of potential intruders.

scOS is designed for reliability. We use wired connections for our cameras and Intelligence Hub, which means they are not susceptible to the 'jamming' techniques that some criminals use against wireless or WiFi-based systems. Even if your internet connection dips, the local Intelligence Hub continues to process activity and can still trigger local deterrents like lights and voice warnings, ensuring your Newstead home is always protected.
